Vintage Film Movie Poster
This is a reproduction of a poster for the vintage animated short film "Touchdown Mickey", which was part of the Mickey Mouse film series. The film was presented by Joseph M. Schenck and distributed by United Artists.
Film Information
Title: Touchdown Mickey
Release Date: October 5, 1932 (some sources state Oct 7 or Oct 15)
Studio: Walt Disney Productions
Director: Wilfred Jackson
Voice Cast: Walt Disney as Mickey Mouse and Pinto Colvig as Goofy
Synopsis
The short is an American football game between "Mickey's Manglers" and the "Alley Cats". Goofy provides a somewhat unintelligible play-by-play as the radio announcer. The game is tied 96-96 with only a few seconds left when Mickey, with some help from a teammate turning into a steamroller to flatten opponents, makes a last-second, winning touchdown run. Characters like Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Horace Horsecollar, and Clarabelle Cow are also seen in the short as supporters or participants.
Artwork
The poster art uses a vibrant, high-color lithograph style typical of early 1930s film advertising. It features a dynamic, action-oriented composition with exaggerated, caricature-style animation physics that were a hallmark of early Disney shorts. The illustration has a flat, illustrative quality with a limited but punchy color palette dominated by bright reds, blues, greens, and yellows, designed to grab attention on a theater wall.
